Throughout August Resident Artists Jordan Hockett and Drew Mayerson will have their artwork adorning our front window. Come on in their Studios and view more of Drews oil paintings and Jordans acrylic paintings.
Jordan Hockett:
Jordan is a San Francisco State University Graduate and Paso Robles native who works in a wide variety of artistic disciplines including paint, textiles, sculpture, and printmaking. His work incorporates layers of varied conflicting patterns and divergent color combinations influenced by midcentury and atomic era design and tribal motifs from all over the world. Subjects include family photos, pop culture images, and Californian landscapes. Pattern and color are used to emphasize or change the meaning of an image. Jordan likes to look at his work as a colorful representation of nostalgia, play, and human Interaction.
Drew Mayerson:
Drew Mayerson lives and paints on California’s Central Coast, where the hills of Paso Robles and the nearby beaches offer endless inspiration. He works in oils, focusing on impressionistic cityscapes and landscapes that reflect his love of light and rhythm of the places he's been. Before picking up the brush full-time, Drew spent 40 years as a geologist exploring the American West and southern Sudan. “Geology and painting both start with observation,” he says. “They’re just different ways of telling a story.” His work has earned recognition from the American Impressionist Society, the Carnegie Art Museum, the City of Thousand Oaks, the Mid-State Fair, and Raymar’s monthly competitions.
